We’ve all got problems. Some are more deeply rooted than others. And sometimes the solutions to our problems aren’t always what we expect them to be. This was especially true for Nicodemus and the Pharisees. When Jesus Christ came before the masses, He presented Himself as the Son of God and fulfillment of prophecy. But to the people of Israel, Jesus seemed an unlikely answer to their problems. The problem Israel faced back then is the same problem we face today: sin. And as it was back then, Jesus is still the answer to that problem. But how many of us are always looking elsewhere for solutions? How many expect to find answers in the innovations of man? Jesus reminds us to look to Him in times of despair and confusion. Watch Episode 11 of Unlocking Bible Prophecies: Digging Deeper to see how Christ resolves humanity’s sin dilemma. MEET THE HOST:

Whose Hands on Your Head?
by Robert M. Johnston | 26 August 2020 The earliest leaders of the Jesus movement were the twelve apostles whom Jesus called and commissioned (Mark 3:13-19 and parallels). The King James Version says that He “ordained them,” but that word is much too fraught with medieval baggage. Modern versions commonly say that He “appointed” them, and […] Source: https://atoday.org/whose-hands-on-your-head/
Think About Adventist Theology and Understand the People in the Church – Why, What and How Come?
Theology is not only for pastors, ministers, priests, or leaders of the church. It is actually for all as it affects everyone. What is theology?
The word originates from two Greek words: 'theos' or God, and 'logos' meaning 'words of.' In short, it means words about God or the study of God. Years back, it used to be "the queen of all sciences." Why? People believed that it is the first pursuit of knowledge, a foundation for all views, beliefs, and decisions. Without theology, people would have no direction about who our Lord is and what He does. They then don't care, waste their lives, and lose their souls. Bible Study reveals God
Christians believe that the Bible reveals the Lord. It is His Word, and He gave it for our study and understanding of Who He is. It is not uncommon, though, that specific Bible topics became challenges and controversies. Christian history tells of many struggles and discussions our forefathers had. These trials and sacrifices were not in vain; we now have a clearer understanding of the Scriptures. Through theology and history, we can see real people and a real loving God, Who guides His people. Can the history of Adventist theology be exciting?
Is there something there that will be of interest to the church members? Is there something there that would draw young people? Learn about the exciting process of historical approach and how it gives a richer understanding. Let's hear from the experts. Dr. David Trim and Dr. Dragoslava Santrac, ESDA editors, host yet another exciting discussion. With them are the editors of the latest online encyclopedia for the history of theology and ethics section – Dr. Frank Hasel and Dr. Denis Kaiser. Next on deck…
